Immunology, EarlyView.Oral treatment with HSP65‐producing Lactococcus lactis after Leishmania braziliensis infection modulates inflammation by promoting lesion resolution through increased IL‐10 production and expansion of regulatory T cells. These findings highlight the potential of oral tolerance induction as a promising therapeutic strategy for chronic inflammatory ...

From leprosy to ground zero: Imagining futures in a world of elimination
Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Achieving a target of zero—zero disease, zero disability, and zero discrimination—has become the dominant focus of campaigns to control or eliminate diseases, from HIV/AIDS to malaria to leprosy. Given the historical failure of most eradication programs over the last century, such teleological imaginings of disease‐free futures might seem ...
